It's located at the end of a non-descript strip mall with no curb appeal but inside is surprisingly welcoming with bright colors, plenty of ambient lighting with clean tables and floor. Even better was our food which was delivered quickly, well prepared and hot. And the coffee was good too and our cups were never allowed to get less than half full! Service was great and the friendly servers seemed to know many of the customers by name and in some cases asking, "Do you want your usual?", a sure sign of familiarity with the patrons, many appearing to be locals. My friend was highly impressed with his French toast (made with thick bread) with fried eggs and a cup of fruit which was almost overflowing. I experimented outside my usual comfort zone and ordered a sausage quesadilla which was delicious and almost more than I could eat. My friend said the men's room was "a complete mess" and needed a good cleaning. I never noticed any mention of a service charge for credit cards on the menu or any posting of this on the door and was shocked to find a 3.5% "cust. ser." charge on my bill after submitting my card for payment. Will be prepared with ample cash next time.

It's easy to give this place a five star rating. It's clean and smells good, and the food was amazingly fresh and delicious. It's right in downtown Punta Gorda. But I am so pleased with was the generous portion. It's nice to get a turkey wrap with more than two slices of turkey. And having lived in Detroit where they have a great town in New York New Jersey where there's quick diners everywhere, I can tell you this place deserves it's five star rating. My wife and I really enjoyed our meal. You should give it a try read more

Came here for an authentic Gyro since well it's a Greek place. Well dissatisfied is an understatement. The gas station down the street run by Indians has better Gyros. These ppl can barely make hot dogs. Save your money. Go next door to Italia or River City grill or even the dumpy Blue turtle is better. read more

Sam's Subs in Port Charlotte -- A True Mom-and-Pop Gem!…read more Sam's Subs is one of those quaint, locally owned food spots that you're so happy to discover! They serve high-quality sandwiches, homemade soups, delicious baked cookies, brownies, and cheesecake. We stopped in for cold sandwiches and were pleasantly surprised to find that French fries or fried mushrooms were available as side options. And let me tell you... everything was delicious! The fries were crispy, hot, made fresh, and the meat was a hearty portion. What made our visit even more special was getting to meet the owner and enjoy a personal visit while we dined. You can truly feel the pride and care that goes into this little shop. And one detail that really stood out to me: the walls are dedicated to the true heroes who wear dog tags. It adds such a meaningful and heartfelt touch to the atmosphere. I highly recommend stopping by Sam's Subs if you're in Port Charlotte! I'll definitely be back to try some of their other subs and club sandwiches. And yes... a special order for extra-crispy bacon on my club sandwich? Absolutely! Great food, great people, and a place with heart.

My husband visited today 4/23/2026 and said the food was good, but his experience with 1 particular staff was uncomfortable and unwelcoming. On her way I'm going inside, a woman approached him rudely in a way that made him feel like he didn't belong there. She didn't greet him or anything. After he had already ordered his food and paid for it, he was sitting outside waiting , she approached him with an attitude and said "Do you need a menu or something, or are you just hanging out?" As if he wasn't supposed to be there. This was completely unnecessary and made him feel disrespected. I later called to speak with a manager about the situation. The woman who answered was unhelpful and unprofessional. She questioned who I was, refused to clearly identify herself at first, and would not let me speak to a manager. She even told me to come so she could meet me and I didn't understand that at all. She then hung up on me. When I called back, she ignored my call, but answered when I used a different phone. At that point, she said she would put me on hold so she could tell her side of the story to the manager first before letting me speak, which is not how customer concerns should be handled. Overall, while the food may be decent, the customer service was extremely poor and needs serious improvement. No customer should be made to feel uncomfortable or dismissed like this.
